WEBVTT FAVORITES TO MAKE THE COLLEGE BASEBALL WORLD SERIES AGAIN. THEIR WARM-UP IS THE LEAGUE TOURNAMENT THIS WEEK. FRED'S HERE WITH MORE. 8 HELLO AGAIN EVERYBODY! WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN NORTH CAROLINA... U OF L BASEBALL OPENS THE ACC TOURNAMENT AFTER A RECORD SETTING FIRST SEASON IN THE LEAGUE. DEREK FORREST REPORTS. "Before the regular season began, the Louisville baseball team was predicted to finish third in the ACC. But that didn't happen. The Louisville baseball actually finished atop the ACC and check out the numbers. 42 wins on the regular season. 25 of those coming in the ACC which oh by the way, is a conference record. And Dan McDonnell says forget about all the hype, forget about all the talk, it's all about playing Louisville baseball. The motto, don't get caught up with what everyone else is saying, and scenarios and projections. And it's fun that people are in tune with college baseball. But fore the players standpoint. You just have to focus on the task at hand. But when you really think about it, it's the way the Louisville baseball team has won all season long. So many come from behind victories, and dealing with a ton of pressure, including playing in the ACCD, but the Cards, just take it in stride. Just don't be afraid to be put in pressure situations. The best teams endure pressure. He calls it the dangerous zone. You know, the top of the top. That is the dangerous zone. That's what coach Mac wants up to embrace. I am most impressed with the 10 consistent weeks. Not having a let down. Playing as well as we did on the road. Handling the few times we got punched in the mouth. You know, on a Friday night and we bounced back. Credit these kids, it's an impressive run. So the Cardinals will begin their run in the ACC tournament this Wednesday night. First pitch is set for 7pm and they will take on the winner of the North Carolina - Virginia Tech game. Reporting from Jim Patterson Stadium, I am Derek Forrest, WLKY Sports."
